Full Description
Biologychanges in biology, education, and technology with the goal of helping students to think like biologists. The text, visual program, and assessments were developed together to provide students with the best resources to gain an understanding of modern biology. Content is selected carefully, is integrated to illustrate the connections between concepts, and follows six themes that are crucial to biology: the scientific method, chemical and physical processes, cells, evolution, ecological interactions, and human impact.The second edition continues this approach, but includes expanded coverage of ecology, new in-class activities to assist instructors in active teaching, new pedagogical support for visual synthesis maps, and expanded and improved assessment.
Contents

Human Origins and Evolution.- Updated discussion of the relationship between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, as well as Denisovans.- 25. Cycling Carbon.- Significantly revised link between the carbon cycle, biodiversity, and ecology.- Case 5 The Human Microbiome: Diversity Within.- 26. Bacteria and Archaea.- 27. Eukaryotic Cells: Origins and Diversity.- New branching order of the eukaryote tree in this chapter and onward to reflect new research in the past three years.- 28. Being Multicellular.- Case 6 Agriculture: Feeding a Growing Population.- 29. Plant Structure and Function: Moving Photosynthesis onto Land.- A new discussion of plant nutrients.- 30.

Plant Growth and Development.- The section on the role of plant sensory systems in the timing of plant reproduction has been moved from Chapter 30 to Chapter 31..- 32. Plant Defense: Keeping the World Green.- 33. Plant Diversity.- Completely revised explanation of the basis for angiosperm diversity.- Plant and animal diversity chapters (Chapters 33 and 44) now include a brief review of organismal form and function, allowing these chapters to be used on their own or before the physiology chapters..- 34. Fungi: Structure, Function, and Diversity.- Case 7 Predator-Prey: A Game of Life and Death.- Brief descriptions of unfamiliar organisms and the major groups of organisms have been layered into the animal physiology chapters, to make it easier to teach physiology before diversity (Chapters 35-42)..- 35.

Population Ecology.- A new population growth equation.- 47. Species Interactions, Communities, and Ecosystems.- A new discussion of facilitation.- An expanded discussion of herbivory.- A new example of microbial symbionts.- A new discussion of biodiversity and its importance.- 48. Biomes and Global Ecology.- An entirely new chapter on physical processes that underlie different biomes.- Differential solar energy around the globe and seasonality.- Wind and ocean currents.- Effects of circulation and topography on rainfall.- Expanded discussion of terrestrial biomes.- Freshwater and marine biomes.- Integration of concepts of biogeochemical cycles from Chapters 25 and 26 with ecological concepts.- Global patterns of primary production.- Global biodiversity.- 49.
